One Bad Apple
Well, here we are, my 106th book and my first erotic romance. Not that my full-on erotica doesn't include romance, but always as a minor key to the main theme of kinky, exotic sex, whereas One Bad Apple is first and foremost a romance.
When Hazel of Xcite Books suggested it I wasn't quite sure if it was my thing, but she is by far the most savvy of the editors in the genre so I took her advice. It was great fun to write and I like to think it's come out well. Here's the cover -
I couldn't quite bring myself to follow the course of a single affair, so I went for a tangled web of love interests that gets sorted out in the end, with - I hope - enough plot and humour to keep it interesting. There's also plenty of sex and plenty of spanking, which there always will be in my books. In fact, anybody who doesn't enjoy spanking fantasy really shouldn't bother to read my stuff, but that's a subject for another post.
One Bad Apple is set in the world of old fashioned British publishing - of which I've seen plenty over the years - and follows the stories of two brothers, the sensible, cautious Mark and the wayward Stephen, along with literary agent Jo MacLean and bossy, tempestuous Charlotte. The company, Montgomery and Dean, of which Mark and Charlotte are junior directors, is staid and respectable, until they find themselves obliged to publish a book from an anonymous author, a book full of salacious details and in which the male characters are cool, calm and very dominant. The female characters spend a great deal of time having their bottoms spanked, a fate they accept as just and even necessary. This is hardly in line with modern thinking and sure to cause a scandal, which it does...
